Dominick, right as usual. There is no significant evidence of Voter Fraud. There is, however, ample evidence of Election Fraud by the Repubs. It’s purely about politics, socio-economics and race. As usual, the repubs are going in the wrong direction with their bald faced attempts to limit access to the ballot box for those not likely to vote for them. They are afraid of democracy, because most of the country does not want what they want (because their policies are hurtful to the majority, and designed to assure that they stay in control. And you know for the repubs, it’s all about power and control.).
That said, right now, we not only have to work to make access to the democratic process easier, we also have to make as much noise, and take as much action as we can to assure that they don’t make it impossible for us in ’14. We really have to keep an eye on those manipulative, sneaky corporatists and oligarchs.

To steal a phrase from one of the progressive journals, “The system ain’t broke, it’s fixed!” We have to work hard to re-fix it! The honest way!

Keep an eye on the Scott Walkers and the repub state legislatures, and…

Here in Oregon all votes are cast by mail. We get our ballot about two weeks prior to election day and we have the option of mailing it in or placing it in one of the many drop boxes. This is not rocket science! The Nation needs to follow Oregon’s lead.

With the tilt of the political Justices in the Supreme Court falling largely towards the Conservative end, I am surprised they haven’t decided to just eliminate the whole voting process.

Then, they could just declare those candidates supported by the Corporations and the one percent to be the winners.

Think of how much time and money would be saved.

I agree we need to fix the voting problems, but Ben Ginsberg, come on now!!!! We can’t have the Wolf in the Hen House can we!!!!!! It was bad enough Mitt son bought the company that makes the voting machines. I look to the future for a story that says they’ve installed software that changes your vote once you hit the submit button. Fraud is everywhere, but with the voters. It’s our elected officials and the courts that support the fraud in the voting system!!!!

The focus must go beyond taking steps to ensure disenfranchisement never takes place in the USA again. We should take advantage of existing technologies and concepts to ensure voting is made easier and the probability of fraud is reduced to an absolute minimum. Emphasis must be placed on making our ability to vote easier, rather than erecting barriers to prevent segments of our population from exercising one of our most important rights.
